This came today from Aero spezial in Germany, a DP Casper 1/72 decal sheet for some PoAF real world and probably whifs too.

Quote from: Rick Lowe on February 05, 2024, 11:37:21 PMPhill, is the gun barrel scraper to get rid of seam lines? Or for re profiling? (I suppose it could be used for both)

Rick it's to get rid of the seam lines after gluing without ending up with a flat spot ..it's got different profiles for different sizes of barrel 
Very neat 👌 😄

Sounds good.
I remember making flat spots on various barrels (and fuselages ).
Nowadays I use a Flexifile or a turned barrel.

Dude I don't know how many times I've done that to a gun barrel 
I've still got tanks with plastic barrels..all the Tamiya ones for example so this should prove to be very useful.
Now today turned into something very good which was so not on the cards dew to the stupid arse price here ..but those cards got just shoved off the table because for the sum of $65 NZ dollars I now have a Miniart Tiran 4 Sharir early type with dozer blade sitting in front of me 😄😄😄😁
That I'm sure is less than half price here 

Phill - yep, about that. Nice!

The wing struts are on either side of the fuselage in the photo, they look like resin parts & appear to have brass rod moulded into them for extra strength (ditto the wheel struts, just to the left of the engine as viewed).

EBay says I've bought another IBG Fw 190D-15, but I cannot remember bidding on one.

I'm surprised you can remember bidding on half of what you end up getting

Right can see them now    Brass rod inserts would be the best way to deal with any strength/stability issues    Thanks

According to leading psychiatrists, that's a sure sign that you have too many models. Send me all your Spitfires and Hunters and that should restore your memory.
